Engine Block Heater

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The block heater element is submerged in the cooling system's coolant. When electrical power (110 volt AC.) is applied to the element, it creates heat. This heat is transferred to the engine coolant. This provides easier engine starting and faster warm-up when vehicle is operated in areas having extremely low temperatures.
